Research profile

Researchers in the Welfare, Health and Wellbeing are work in the UK and internationally to improve knowledge of the social processes that contribute to people’s welfare, health and wellbeing. We address these challenges through robust, ethical research and by developing innovative methodologies to advance how research, knowledge production and evaluation are conducted. We have strong connections with policy-making and practice, and a commitment to social impact and public engagement. Our established research areas include:

  • Health behaviour, experiences and interventions
  • Sport, physical activity, health and wellbeing
  • Social change and wellbeing in the global south
  • Youth welfare, health and wellbeing
  • Media, communication and representation in health and wellbeing
  • Wellbeing experiences and evidence

Careers and your future

You will receive tailored careers support during your PhD and for up to three years after you complete your research at Brunel. We encourage you to actively engage in career planning and managing your personal development right from the start of your research, even (or perhaps especially) if you don't yet have a career path in mind. Our careers provision includes online information and advice, one-to-one consultations and a range of events and workshops. The Professional Development Centre runs a varied programme of careers events throughout the academic year. These include industry insight sessions, recruitment fairs, employer pop-ups and skills workshops.

In addition, where available, you may be able to undertake some paid work as we recognise that teaching and learning support duties represent an important professional and career development opportunity.

MPhil option available.
